My Co-renting Lady Boss-Chapter 1702 - 1701: The Difference Between Boss and Underling
"Thank you, thank you."
Tang Ming nodded repeatedly.
"Hey, aren’t you curious why I agreed to help today?"
Huangfu Tieling asked, displeased.
"Uh... why is that?"
"Hehe, because you defeated Sakai Ryuuichi. Just for the honor you’ve brought to the country, I’ll give you this favor."
Huangfu Tieling chuckled, then hung up the phone.
"Damn, teaching that Japanese guy a lesson actually comes with perks like this."
Tang Ming was slightly stunned, then closed his phone. "It’s settled! Huangfu Tieling says you should go to the Red Cherry Blossom Association headquarters to find her."
"It’s really settled? How amazing are you!"
Mo Hongsheng looked at Tang Ming in disbelief. "I’ve tried everything and couldn’t do it, yet you sorted it out with just one call."
"Haha, that’s the difference between a little brother and a big brother. You should learn from this!"
Chen Cang snorted proudly.
"Well said."
Tang Ming nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with Chen Cang’s summary.
"Anyway, you helped me join the Red Cherry Blossom Association, solving a big headache for me, and for that, I must thank you."
Mo Hongsheng looked sincerely at Tang Ming. "No need for more words, I’ll definitely repay you well in the future. I’ll head off first to prepare to meet Huangfu Tieling; you guys enjoy your meal."
With that said, Mo Hongsheng got up and left.
"Hey, isn’t he being a bit ungrateful?" Chen Cang looked speechlessly at Mo Hongsheng’s back.
"I wonder what’s so good about that Red Cherry Blossom Association. I didn’t feel any different after joining."
Tang Ming disdainfully pouted.
"You are Ming, indeed. Not many things can catch your eye."
Chen Cang rolled his eyes, and just as he was about to look away, he saw Dong Changxing leading a group from the Little Martial Arts up from the stairs.
"Ming, look, aren’t those guys from the Little Martial Arts?"
Chen Cang hurriedly nudged Tang Ming and pointed at Dong Changxing. "Who is that guy, surrounded by Yang Jin and others? He doesn’t seem to have a low status!"
"His name is Dong Changxing; he’s the Alliance Hierarch of the Little Martial Arts, a Nine-star Peak Martial Master. Quite a coincidence to run into him here."
Tang Ming’s expression turned strange. "Might as well resolve some grievances with them, to avoid future troubles."
"What grievances?"
Chen Cang looked at Tang Ming cluelessly. "What happened while I was away?"
"Haha."
Tang Ming chuckled without explaining in detail, then got up and walked over.
Dong Changxing and Yang Jin found a table and sat down, planning to finish their meal, leave the school, and enter a secluded training state.
The others were all crestfallen; having their place smashed by Sakai Ryuuichi left them dejected.
"Alright, no more gloomy faces. Victory and defeat are part of battle; we just need to train hard in the future and not embarrass Huaxia again."
After sitting down, Dong Changxing scolded with a stern face: "It’s just Sakai Ryuuichi. He’s a fine figure among the younger generation in Japan. Our loss isn’t unjust, and don’t lose confidence. We are at least outstanding among the younger generation in Huaxia Martial Arts."
"The Hierarch is right. From now on, we must train hard, and seek revenge against Sakai Ryuuichi when we are stronger to regain our lost face today."
Yang Jin pledged earnestly.
The others were also greatly encouraged. Being suppressed by a foreigner was more painful than being suppressed by Tang Ming, and it spurred them on all the more.
"Well, isn’t it a coincidence running into you guys here?"
At this moment, Tang Ming approached with Chen Cang.
"Hmm?"
Dong Changxing and others turned their heads, their faces turning unpleasant at once, not expecting to run into Tang Ming while having a meal. How unlucky!
"What a coincidence indeed!"
The others said nothing, but Han Shan had to greet Tang Ming.
"I did stand you guys up before, which was my bad. Now that we’ve bumped into each other, we might as well resolve our old grievances through a competition."
Tang Ming said with a smile while stretching.
Hearing this, Yang Jin, and Da Long Nu swiftly looked at Dong Changxing.
Dong Changxing’s face turned entirely red, his fist clenched tightly.
"What’s wrong? Weren’t you always challenging me to a fight? Now that I’m here, why the long faces?"
Tang Ming frowned in confusion. "Alliance Hierarch Dong, I really had something on that day. I’ve already apologized. No need to be this petty, right? Let’s have a match today to avoid rescheduling."
"Who wants to fight my brother Ming? I can spar with them."
At this, Chen Cang got angry, holding up his hand flamboyantly as he sized up the crowd in displeasure: "I’ve recently made great progress in cultivation. Whoever wants to fight, I can stand in for Brother Ming."
"Ahem, let’s not have a match. From now on, the Little Martial Arts’ grudges with you are over. Making friends is better than being enemies."
Dong Changxing forced a smile, looking awkwardly at Tang Ming and Chen Cang.
Although he didn’t know Chen Cang, he had heard that Chen had fought Sakai Ryuuichi to a draw.
"What? No match anymore, why?"
Tang Ming asked Dong Changxing, perplexed. "I’m not in a good mood today, and we just ran into each other. Sparring a bit would let me vent."
"No, no, we’ve decided to be friends from now on, no need to swing swords and knives." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Upon hearing this, Dong Changxing was even more afraid to fight, lest he become Tang Ming’s punching bag.
What a joke!
Sakai Ryuuichi had the power to wipe out the Little Martial Arts; Tang Ming could defeat him in seconds. Comparing the two, fighting Tang Ming would just ask for a beating.
Seeing Dong Changxing not agreeing to a duel, Yang Jin and others sighed in relief, all intimidated by Tang Ming.
Not to mention Tang Ming, just Chen Cang alone had the strength to draw with Sakai Ryuuichi. Who knows how much stronger Tang Ming is than Chen Cang. These two alone could annihilate the Little Martial Arts, so how could they dare make a move!
"What’s the deal? It’s not me ditching you this time; it’s you wanting to resolve our grievances and promising not to trouble me anymore."
Tang Ming reminded earnestly.
"We won’t, we won’t. We’ll all go into seclusion to cultivate and study martial arts. We guarantee not to trouble you again."
Dong Changxing assured earnestly, then got up and cupped his hands: "We have things to attend to, so we won’t disturb your meal."
"Aren’t you eating?"
Tang Ming asked puzzledly.
"No, no, we’re full."
Dong Changxing hurriedly shook his head.
"You just got here and haven’t even eaten; how are you full already?"
Chen Cang reminded with a peculiar expression.
"I’m full; what about you guys?"
Dong Changxing quickly looked to the others.
